I'm a Hamilton fan, but you can still say and have fun if they do something stupid or have a funny pose. Hence why i commented at the beginning of the thread. If you put a interesting picture of any driver up we can all have a laugh about it - including them if they ever graced these forums.

But no one has said fun cant be poked at Hamilton....I personally think this is not a good caption pic

Seb: "No, I'll never stop waving the victory finger."Hidden torturer: "Unleash the crack... er... Wait a minute! Unleash the Alsatian"Seb: "not the awesome awesomeness of fluffy Alsatian... You may make me giggle, but this is Spart... I will wave my victory finger!"

Seb: "You can bite off the finger as often as you want - it will always regrow to its well-known glory!" - followed by an evil laugh

(with these rather sad faces)LH: "Lotus launched their car online, here are the pics." (after some time of analysis)LH: "So, are we mailing it to Ross, saying that we should concentrate on 2014 already?"

EDIT: added "we" in second sentence... must have been hungry as I ate it

Every recent pic I've seen of Lewis so far reminds me of the look of someone who has had a really crappy Christmas present but tries to feign a happy face in order to not cause offence.

Not a caption, I know, but his eyes give it away. He's made a mistake, and he knows it.

I am sure that for Hamilton it is difficult to be at a team other than McLaren; he spent his whole life there, and even if he is convinced that he took the right decision, the first few weeks at Mercedes will be hard for him. I am not surprised that he is not exultant in these pics! But he will settle down soon enough.

As for results, I think that he is convinced that he can deliver, but he is also aware of the fact that there are many other circumstances that should be taken into account. It was a risky move for him, and any of us making a similar decision would have something more than butterflies in the stomach - I don't think he is different in that.

I just hope he can keep his emotions in check if his season gets off to a poor start. As much as he dresses it up as a long term project, I get the impression he is not a patient man and will expect to see the team moving in a positive direction from the off. The recent media rumblings of behind the scenes politics won't have done much to quell his apprehension, either.

I'm a huge Hamilton fan, but can't help feel that his move was knee-jerk and may put a large blot on his career story. I hope I'm wrong. Roll on Australia.
